Lucian's POV

As the hand dragged Azariel out of the portal, I jumped out, too. The hand belonged to Baran, the mutant rogue whose heart I had torn out.

He had risen despite the fact that his heart laid at a corner on the grassy floor. He was holding onto Azariel's neck with the intent to choke him.

I took a look at his dead subordinates, they didn't rise up. This meant that he was the only one that was fully evolved. Somehow, I expected that something like this would happen.

Azariel released himself from his grip and flung him aside. With an increased speed, he lunged at Azariel again. This time his attacks were more brutal. Azariel dodged with ease, but wasn't able to throw an attack.

I noticed something, he didn't make an attempt to attack me despite the fact he had eye contact from time to time. I looked at my blood stained hands, and Azariel cleaned one's. Could it be….

There was only one way to find out. I walked towards the direction where they fought and stood in between the

    Iris's POV My legs were rooted to the ground and I couldn't move an inch. I played the voice note over and over again but only one sentence kept replaying in my head, “If we get no report by midnight, we’ll bury her body.”I couldn't find the number of the person who sent the message. The sender was tagged anonymously without any number attachments to it.Lady Mica…why did that name sound oddly familiar?I was having a bad feeling about this. Lucian was the infamous beast king, so killing was something that should be expected of him. At this moment, I couldn't panic. I must make good my escape tonight. I need to master the nook and cranny of the mansion to make things easier. I didn't know if it was possible to do that in one day, but I just had to.Taking a deep breath, I dropped my phone on the glass table in the bathroom. I picked up a toothbrush and began brushing, looking at my reflection in the mirror.“You can do this.” I whispered to myself before spitting out the contents

    Lucian’s POV Azariel and I took a step backward as we watched the ice box float in the air with chains curled around it. After a few seconds, the box landed on the ground with a loud thud.It was transparent, and there were people in it.Azariel commanded more bolts of lightning and the box broke open, releasing the people in it. About three people fell out of it, two men and a woman. Their clothes looked tattered, and their hair looked overgrown and unkempt like they had been here for long.“Thank you, thank you so much.” One of the men walked forward, dusting the snow from his body.“Were you responsible for those vibrations?” Azariel asked.“Yes.” He replied.“We’ve been locked in here for years. Sorcerers and Powerful werewolves have come and gone, but none of them were able to get our signal.” He explained.I paused, taking a good look at each one of them. The man speaking was a red-hair, with dark eyes. The other man at the back had dark hair, with pure white eyes, but he could

    Iris's POV “Lock the door immediately!” Samantha exclaimed.Eloise entered fully and locked the door with shaky hands. She stood with her back rested on the door as she breathed heavily.A surprise expression flickered in her eyes as she saw Samantha sitting on the bed.“Come sit.” I patted on the bed.Her lips pursed as she looked hesitantly from Samantha to me. I expected her to retort or disagree as Samantha had done, but she instead took careful steps and sat right beside Samantha.“How did it happen?” Samantha asked.“I went to get the Luna’s food, but I couldn't find Ivan in the kitchen. There were no maids too. I stood there trying to figure out what was going on because it was unusual. Then I heard a wobble in the kitchen’s cupboard.” She paused, fear flashing in her eyes.“I walked towards the cupboard and opened it. In it was…in it was the butchered and mutilated parts of some maids.” She closed her eyes.Samantha sighed and rubbed her arm comfortingly. That was indeed a ho

Where's Marilyn?” I asked.“Too many unanswered questions, Luci, too many. Come here, my son.” She sighed as she offered me her hand.I forced myself up with a grunt, taking her hands. I used my other hand to wipe off the blood.“Oh, dear. You're all grown up now, my sweet Luci.” She stood on her tiptoes, caressing my cheeks. “You took your father's eyes and look more like him. But at least you have my hair, don’t you? Wait, why are you in a cloak?” “Too many unanswered questions, Mother. Too many.” I repeated her words earlier with a sly smile.“Huh?” She looked taken back.“Just joking, Mother.”“I’ll answer all your questions, Luci, I will. But let's spend some time together, it's been years.”“I agree with you, Mother. But I wouldn't feel at peace if you didn't tell me how you got here and where Marilyn is.” I sighed.Her eyes flickered with

    Iris's POV“Sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was you.” I panicked as I watched Ariel rub his eyes.It turned out that Ariel killed the beast immediately when the door fell down. We attacked with the pepper spray, but directed it all at Ariel in a moment of panic. I failed to notice the corpse of the beast on the floor.I had washed his eyes and asked Samantha to get ice packs as his eyes were red. Meanwhile Eloise held a mini fan, hovering it around his eyes to cool it. I sat beside him, consoling him and trying to get him to open his eyes full. It was a Miracle he hadn't gone blind as I used the spray with massive force alongside Samantha and Eloise. He had to open his eyes before his brother arrived. Looking at the relationship between Azariel and Lucian, I was sure Lucian would let Azariel deal with me.I didn't want to imagine what Azariel would do to me for doing this to his brother. With the way he acted some days back, it was obvious he loved his brother. I shivered at th

    Lucian’s POV “It's so good to be on land again,” Michael remarked as he stepped out of the car.“Idiot, weren't you on land awhile ago? Or do you have another definition of land now?” Azariel snickered.“Tch, kids these days with zero respect. You think because you created this evolved carriage and this glassy thing, you can talk to elders like that. I’ll spank you.” Michael lunged at Azariel.“It's a car and not an evolved carriage. And what you call a glassy thing is a phone, old man.” Azariel taunted.“Hmph, I’ll just let you go because you helped us a lot. But I promise you, I’ll make sure to tattle-tale again and get you in trouble.” Michael grinned.“You’ve got taste, kid.” Ivana smiled as she looked at the mansion’s exterior.“Couldn't have been built any better,” Gaius commented.“Let's go now, shall we?” Azariel offered Ivana his hand as they walked forward.Michael walked behind them, bantering with Azariel, while Gaius and I walked at the back.“I know that you know.” I be

    Iris's POV “The night of my escape”I stared at the ceiling with my heart racing so fast.“Lucian is back”, I whispered to myself. “Trouble is back” is added.I closed my eyes slightly and I opened it back, I tossed to and fro on the sofa but it didn't amount to bringing me to sleep.“I, Iris, don't be a fool”, I whispered to myself.My eyes were fixed to the ceiling. It seemed my mind had captured what I wanted, but my heart was still finding a way to process it.I was so dull in making the decision until it jumped out of my mouth and out of my mind, “Run away.. Run away”I gasped for air as if someone was hearing me, but it was so dark to have anyone around me to be active except for the guards.I stood up gently and went to the window, and my intuition was so right; no one was actively awake, and even some of the guards were dozing off as much they weren't seeing anything to pursue.I numbed my finger in the air, and I jumped up slightly, as if I just won a jackpot.What will this

    Lucian's POV “You want to escape?” All I knew was that I couldn’t collide my eyes to make the night and I tossed to and fro on the best.I heard the sounds of footsteps, I listened slightly and peeping through my window, I saw this feminine creature tip-toeing like she got the keys to the gate.I laughed silently, and with every step she took, I was there until she got to the second door, and when to hide, I made my way through the hidden door and stayed outside the third door for her.Iris thought she was smart but she would almost break her bones before I lifted a finger to help her open the door. I thought in my heart.She tried all she could, punches, the hooks and the jerks, all I did was smile and make jest of her at the other side of the gate.I was so tired of Standing, and the day would break, so I needed to get a few hours of sleep.I opened the gate by taking away the big brass on it.Her Intuition thought that she did it and I saw her fall flat before me.

    Lucian’s POV“They are back.” Ivan informed me as I trained.I hummed in response, and continued training. Dodging the bullets that came my way. There were several programmed machines, whose aim was to shoot out bullets. I was dodging each and every one of them without using my powers. I had quick reflexes, so I didn't find them quite hard. I imagined a situation whereby my powers were taken away from me, and I could only chuckle.Ariel had mentioned earlier that he was going to watch a fight at the black market. I knew Ariel too well to know that he got bored of those fights. So, he definitely had other intentions. He revealed that Vonn Averaj, the younger brother of Konstantin Averaj would be present at the fight.Vonn Averaj was a human, despite the fact that his brother was a god. Konstantin’s mother, who was a human, married another human after her first husband, who was a god, died. Vonn was their son, a step brother to Konstantin.He was known for his love for women, and his a

    Iris's POV “What's wrong Rhea?” I whispered.“It's nothing, just slight pangs of headache.” She whispered back.“Which means you haven't required well, you should have stayed home till you got better.” I sighed.“I promise, I'm fine. Let's focus on this man here before he kills us with his suspicious stares.” She muttered.“Who are you? And what do you want from Konstantin? You don't really look like you’re from the brothel.” He sat up, his eyes alert.I could see his slowly reaching out for something in the pillow, he didn't trust us.“If you're this suspicious of us then why did you send those beautiful ladies out?” I asked, and he paused in his movement.“Yes, they are indeed beautiful. But they don't compare one bit to both of you, I thought you were high class brothel ladies prepared for me by as the champion. But with the question you asked, you aren't.” His eyes peered at us.“What should we do?” I whispered as we stuck together.“Ariel probably wants us to lure him or somethi

    Iris's POV I froze on the spot, unable to look away as memories of the past came flooding. The beatings, the tellings, the whips. I trembled, unable to move.Meanwhile his lips slowly morphed into a smile, a taunting one. He realised he still had the effect on me, that I was still scared of him.“Hey! Move red hair what the hell are you standing there for?” A gruff voice pushed me to the side and I staggered.My father then lowered his hands to the belt he was, caressing it as if to remind me of the pain he had inflicted on me with them. It was like I blanked out, and I could only see him.What the fuck was wrong with me? I thought I had gotten stronger, I thought I would be able to face him someday without fear. But here I was, immobile and shaking like a leaf.“Stop it.” I muttered, repeatedly.His eyes never left mine, his taunting smile still present.“Iris! Look at me!” I heard a familiar voice snap, and felt a pair of hands on my shoulders that shook me rigorously.I shook my h

    Iris's POV I sighed for the umpteenth time as I tried to push away memories of the incidents that had happened yesterday. I groaned at the remembrance of how I was easily flustered, when he was just trying to apply medicine to bruises that I had ignored.This was the second time this was happening, and it was all my fault. When he asked me to strip and threatened me with my mother, it turned that he was only trying to check if I was injured from what I told him.But my body had been reacting otherwise. I guess that's what you get for being a virgin all your life. A pang of guilt hit me as I thought of the words I said about his family.Honestly, I expected him to hit me or something but he didn't. Flashbacks of how he beat my father because he saw marks on my shoulders, came with full force.He saved me from the rogues when I tried to escape home, the floweries incident, he came to save me. To think of it, he had been my saviour anytime I got into a mess. Yet, I still couldn't stop b

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Attraction

    Lucian’s POV Punching Lucian was the only way I could vent my anger and frustration. He enjoyed the beating as the mad person he was. He knew who Iris was, yet he had put on the perfect facade.I had asked her to strip not because I was angry at her or anything, but because I knew she'd be hurt. With what she explained to me, the cab driver would definitely have hurt her. The red lines on her face told it all, and I knew Lucian didn't hurt her.If only I had met him alive, he’d have preferred to be sent to hell. Iris said Lucian saved them, and I knew he’d have definitely killed the men.My blood boiled that they had the audacity to touch and hit her, and they got away with it by dying before I got to them. Maybe I shouldn't have asked her to strip, because when she did, it took a lot of fucking control to hold myself. I couldn't lie I felt sexually attracted to her, I had let her get to me.I had never been affected by any woman this way. I had known it would get to something like

    Iris’s POV I rubbed my ears to see if I had heard wrong, but from the look in his eyes, he wasn't joking.“I won’t repeat my words, and if I do, I promise you'll hate me more than you do.” I heard him say, and I gritted my teeth.“You're kidding me.” I seethed.Who the hell did he think he was to order me around? Do I look like some kind of stripper? If he needed one, he should go to a club; I don't care.I’d had enough, taking one deep breath, I rose from the bed and made my way towards the door. But on getting to the door, I halted, turning to face him.“Look, I’ve explained everything to you. I don't get why you're still…pissed or whatever. What else do you want? I’m sorry if….I made you worry, that's if you even did.” I muttered.“I didn't try to escape.” I added, but he still said nothing, his cold eyes watching me.I sighed, before reaching out for the door handle to unlock it.“If you dare step out of that door…I’m afraid your parents' life would not remain the same.” He said

  • BRIDE OF THE BEAST LYCAN KING   Strip!

    Iris's POV My heart thumped rapidly, that I feared those in the room could hear it. I sat, glued to the seat without being able to make any movement. Lucian stood by the door, staring into my soul with those cold blue eyes.The mad king on the other hand, didn't seem ready to leave. I was screwed, he had definitely misunderstood and with the way he was looking at me, he looked like he would tear me apart at any moment soon.The plan was to explain everything to the mad king, so that if the search party got here, Lucian would understand. But instead, Lucian had found me first.“I can explain.” The words jumped out from my mouth as Lucian took a step forward.Still locking gazes with me, each step was like a death sentence to me. He stood in front of me, his height towering. Then he withdrew his gaze and now faced Lucian, the mad king.I was in between them, feeling so damn uncomfortable. Looking at them up close, they were the same height. But Lucian, my nightmare seems to be slightly

    Lucian’s POV My brows furrowed, as I clenched my fists. Her scent that I perceived in the car boot earlier, wasn't a mistake or a coincidence, she was indeed in the boot. Which meant she had probably tried to escape along with her new friend.“What's wrong Lucian? What did Ivan tell you?” Azariel asked upon noticing my quietness.“Let's go back to the council, now.” I muttered.I would visit Konstantin later, but now; finding Iris was more important. Maybe it was because I went a little easy on her the last time she attempted to escape, and now she thought she could do it freely.If only she knows….When I find her, I’d have to teach her a good lesson so she wouldn't dare assume for once that I was a good girl. That's the thing with people, you show them a little leniency, and they’d take it for granted.I dashed out of the shack, walking to the car with Ariel and Azariel behind me. This time, I drove by myself, rage coursing through my veins. I was sure she didn't escape to her home

    “Well, well, well. Look who we have here, what a coincidence.” She smiled. “Aren't you meant to be at your pack now?”“It's a long story.” I muttered as I explained everything to her, from how the cab driver brought us here to how he attacked us with his men, and finally Lucian, the mad king coming to save us and how we got to the hospital.“It's understandable that Lucian killed those men, he can't stand the likes of them. But he let his driver bring you and your friend to his hospital? That's new.” She looked surprised.“He has definitely caught interest in one of you, or both of you; maybe.” She laughed lightly but I wasn't finding it funny.He was interested in who?I subconsciously imagined the scene of him flaying his wife, and it was enough to send shivers down my spine.“Thank you for the information. I’ll immediately leave with Rhea.” I muttered quickly and she burst out laughing.“You really are as quick as a horse. Is that how much you're scared of him? Don't worry, he won'
